The Wells Church hosts Easter Eggstravaganza

HASTINGS, Neb. (KSNB) - The Well Church in Hastings held their Easter Eggstravaganza on Saturday. Kids gathered approximately 10,000 eggs that had a tasty treat inside. Kiddos were able to get their face painted and grab a bite to eat. The church has hosted this event since 2019 and one pastor said this event is about family and community.

“So one of our big things one of our values is we value the family and so our hope is practice good hospitality and outreach into our community and just bless families with a event near Easter,” said Pastor Joe Marino. “We know that families are always looking for Easter egg hunts to go so this is our way of connecting with them just blessing the community.”

Marino said the event has grown each year through word of mouth and social media as they went from 100 people attending in year one, to approximately 400 people. There’s one thing Marino loves to see each year.

“I think one of the coolest things that we get to see is just family spending time together,” said Marino. “Like in our busy culture families don’t spend time together outside of their homes out from behind their scenes and then when you see kids jumping on these inflatables and running around like crazy and parents having a good time, that’s a win for us.”
